By the time Longhorn comes out I'm sure everyone will be sick of the subject "windows vs linux." Will longhorn finally destroy that pesky linux and mark another decade of Microsoft's monopoly, or will the underdog come out with a stunning upset and send a multi billion dollar company to it's grave?

First - fine and interesting piece. I like your advice to Linux community: "Make it simple". I want Linux to succeed - not necessarily destroy Windows, do we want choice or not?!? - but frankly Windows is often easier. Even faster. And it is hard to argue with Server 2003!
Second - with regard to Win98 actually WinXP Pro runs quite nicely on several sub-600 Mhz machines we use around here. My P3 450 at home. A P2 400 laptop. A Celeron 400 desktop. And so on... As long as it has plenty of RAM WinXP runs if anything faster than Win98. (RAM not speed is more important, I think.)
